This kind of take always shows up in threads about simpler tools and it always amazes me. This reads to me as "I'm a seasoned developer, so I'm too good for this." I'm not sure what you consider seasoned as I've only be developing software for 25 years but one day I hope to achieve these lofty heights.

I work with loads of hackers who avoid "real IDEs" like the plague. I think you vastly misunderstand that crowd.
